Public procurement has a significant effect on GDP, making it an important economic
practice for governments within the European Union. Laws exist to ensure the public
sector gets the right value for its money. Public procurement could also be affected by the way a culture views competition. Using data from the European Value Survey and
European Commission, the potential effect that a culture’s view on competition can have on the legal strength of public procurement is examined. After an empirical research, this paper finds that there is no significant effect.
